Name | Definition |
|---|---|
In-Content | In-content ads are ad placements that are seamlessly integrated within the main content of a webpage. These ads blend in with the surrounding content, appearing naturally within articles, blog posts, or videos. The purpose is to provide a less disruptive and more organic advertising experience for users, while still delivering relevant messages to capture their attention. |
Sidebar | Sidebar refers to displaying advertisements in the sidebar of a webpage. These ads typically appear alongside the main content and are often presented in a vertical column on one side of the page. Sidebar ads are designed to capture users' attention while navigating through the content, providing an additional advertising opportunity for advertisers and publishers. |
Top | Top placements are ads positioned at the webpage's top, above the main content, often in a website's header or banner area. They ensure high visibility, immediately capturing users' attention upon landing. Advertisers utilize top ads to maximize exposure and drive early engagement with their messages. |
Bottom | Bottom placements are ads positioned at the webpage's bottom, below the main content, near the footer section of a website. Strategically placed to capture attention as users reach the end of the page, they provide an extra chance for advertisers to promote their messages, products, or services. |
Adhesive Top | Adhesive Top ads are advertisements that remain fixed at the top of a webpage even as users scroll down. They ensure persistent visibility and increase the chances of engagement for advertisers. |
Adhesive Bottom | Adhesive Bottom, also known as sticky bottom or fixed bottom, refers to a type of ad placement where an advertisement remains fixed or "sticks" to the bottom portion of a webpage as the user scrolls. They provide continuous visibility and help advertisers capture user attention throughout the scrolling experience. |
Floating | Floating ads are ad placements that float or hover over webpage content as users scroll or navigate through the page. They attract attention with eye-catching visuals and interactive elements, typically videos, maximizing user engagement and impact. |
Interstitial | An interstitial is a full-screen advertisement that appears between content pages or during transitions in apps or websites. These ads often appear as full-screen overlays and can include various formats such as images, videos, or interactive elements. |
Pop-Up | A pop-up is an advertisement that appears as a separate window or overlay, often covering the screen, to deliver targeted messages or promote products/services. Pop-up ads can contain various types of content, including images, text, forms, or videos. They are typically used by advertisers to deliver targeted messages or promote products or services. |
Multi | Multi-position placements aggregate ads that appear in multiple locations within a webpage. They increase visibility by occupying different positions on the page, aiming to capture user attention from various angles. |
